Urologist

Kilcoyne & Nesbitt finished the year strong with another win for our clients! Congratulations to Kristy Castagna in obtaining a defense win in Luzerne County. The case involved allegations by the Plaintiff that the defendant urologist failed to appropriately diagnose and treat a 9-year-old boy’s testicular torsion, resulting in on-going pain and loss of the organ. Through effective cross-examination of Plaintiff’s witnesses and experts, Attorney Castagna disproved the claim of continuing pain and established that the testicle was beyond salvage by the time Plaintiff came under the treatment of the urologist. Attorney Castagna was able to have the claims against the urologist dismissed halfway through trial by nonsuit after arguing that Plaintiff failed to establish that the defendant urologist had breached the standard of care.
